Richard Young said his son suffers from a disorder caused by his brain being compressed into the front of his skull, but he couldn't remember the disorder's name Monday. The father said his son's disposition changed after he suffered a concussion during his rookie season, although the Lions never listed that as an injury.

Are you saying that he is the way that he is now due to the repeated blows to the head he has received since he started playing football?

That raises a few questions: Was he always like this? When did he start acting this way and when did he start playing football?

Not sure I've read lots of conflicting reports on Young. For instance, he has always been in trouble since his younger days. However, it's hard to determine when exactly he got a concussion. Likewise, the long term effects on concussions and their effects on the brain are still in the works and more research is needed.

I just wouldn't dismiss that he could have some sort of personality disorder due to a brain injury.

You would think that as humans that we have come a long way in terms of modern medicine but in reality we understand so less. The brain is one of the most important human structures yet our knowledge on it is not up to par. Just like we look back and cringe at medicine that took place 100 years ago, I imagine people 100 years in the future will look back at the medicine we practice and cringe as well.

Seriously this whole "mental instability" ******** needs to end. Some one shoots up a school and they are pardoned because of it, or some one does stupid **** like this and claims mental instability. It is complete BS. His dad is using this as a cop out. Here is a great way for your son to learn to stop being a thug: suffer the consequences. Typical pussification of America, I am sick of it.
